" So glad I found out about Jalapeno Express! The food truck is conveniently located, and it’s got such a vibrant atmosphere. I ordered the birria tacos and they were delightfully rich and juicy. The portion sizes are substantial for the price, and I loved being able to mix it up with different sauces. My only complaint is that they sometimes run out of popular items, so I’d recommend calling ahead if you're looking for something specific. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was lucky enough to discover this gem last summer! The tacos were so good that I visited three times in a single week. The birria tacos melted in my mouth, and the accompanying sauces elevated the flavor even more. The staff was friendly and the wait time was minimal during my visits. If you're in the Jacksonville area, make sure to check them out; you won't regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Jalapeno Express has been my go-to spot for tacos since I discovered them a few months back. I love their al pastor tacos; the flavor is authentic and they always use fresh ingredients. I appreciate the variety of salsas offered, especially the mango salsa which adds a nice touch. It can get busy, so I suggest going during off-peak hours to avoid long waits. Overall, I’m a really satisfied customer and will keep coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Mexican food in town, this is definitely a great spot. I had the tacos de lengua, which brought me back to my roots and the flavors were spot on! However, the service was a bit erratic, and I had to wait longer than expected, which is why I didn't give a perfect score. Overall, I'd recommend it for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really like the vibe at Jalapeno Express, it's a friendly environment and the tacos are solid. I ordered the carnitas and they had fantastic flavor, but they were a bit on the greasy side. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are fairly generous. Service can vary, though; once I got my food pretty quickly, while another time I felt like I was waiting forever. Overall, I think it’s a solid taco spot worth checking out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible! I’ve been to many taco trucks, but this one really hits the mark for authentic flavors. The tacos are expertly crafted, and the homemade sauces add an extra layer of flavor that you can’t find everywhere. The wait was a little long, but I expect that on weekends. It's definitely worth the stop! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Jalapeno Express, I am reminded of the authentic flavors of Mexican cuisine. Their tacos always satisfy my cravings, and I especially love the hot sauce options they provide—so diverse! The staff is generally friendly, but they could improve on doubling the attention during busy periods. Overall, a great food spot! " (*Curated Review*)
